"Analysis of the 2001 Census data revealed lower levels of education and income and poorer housing conditions for the Inuit-inhabited areas compared with Canada as a whole. Any or all of these, in addition to lifestyle risk factors and environmental conditions, could be at least partly responsible for the lower life expectancy in those areas. In the three five-year periods studied, from 1989 through 2003, the infant mortality rate was approximately four times higher in the Inuit-inhabited areas, compared with all of Canada." http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080123/dq080123d-eng.htm http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080123/dq080123d-en...
